i got it for free! rclxm9.gif
i won the Cosmos 4 months ago from CM competition. but only on 31st Oct the casing departed Taiwan and arrived my home two days later. smile.gif
that's why i wonder why our cosmos are different. maybe bro ianho can help me? sweat.gif

i checked cooler master's site, and according to the spec, 4X 12cm fan is included as standard, and there's no mention of fan mount on the airduct, so i wonder whether ours are newer version or the reviewed 1 is newer.. haha..

checked the review from madshrimps dated november 20, and it's exactly the same as mine and hafiez.. so i guess ours is the newer 1, while the reviewed version is older..

U guys have the old 1. The 1 I reviewed is a retail unit. There were numerous complaints about hot HDDs so they changed the design.

ah.. my mistake then.. tongue.gif
thought since madshrimps review is just few days ago, so they would probably be using the latest revision..

just replaced the 2 top fan with 12cmX38mm delta and nidec triblade running at 5V(pushes more air compared to the stock coolermaster fan, and still silent), and moved the 2 coolermaster silent fan to the HDD cage, 1 on the top, and another 1 at the side, facing the graphic card, both fan is positioned to draw air out from the cage, hopefully this will cool the HDD properly.. it's kinda warm after i left it running overnight yesterday..

i have to agree it's not the best looking, especially with the weirdo handle and stands.. but those weirdos that are sticking out of the chassis serve it's purpose, i dont have to worry about scratching the side panels when i'm working with my casing lying down, and it's needed for the bottom PSU intake, the HDD fresh air intake and also the bottom fan intake..

hafiez, that sticker, the 1st thing ur supposed to do after getiing the case is to peel it off. laugh.gif It's for protecting the black acrylic during shipping only. It's not meant to be used by end user.
*
i'm leaving the sticker there too.. to prevent any accidental scratches.. just like the original cheapo screen protector that came with your new handphone.
haha..

same thing happens here. the wind tunnel doesn't have a fan or even fan slot.

so the 1 without fan slot are old stock or new?
*
old stock..
new stock comes with fan slot on the wind tunnel, less 12cm fans built in, no holes on the HDD tray, and thermal pads supplied.
